Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A video of Shaaban al-Dalou burning to death after an Israeli strike at a hospital has stoked criticism from Israel’s allies and highlighted the plight of people trapped in Gaza.

He was the son his mother boasted about: He memorized the entire Quran as a boy, and rose to the top of his university class. He wanted to become a doctor. But most of all, Shaaban al-Dalou dreamed of escape.

Since Israel launched its devastating retaliation for the Hamas-led attack just over a year ago, Mr. al-Dalou wrote impassioned pleas on social media, posted videos from his family’s small plastic tent and even launched a GoFundMe page calling out to the world for help getting out of the Gaza Strip.

Instead, the world watched him burn to death.

Mr. al-Dalou, 19, was identified by his family as the young man helplessly waving his arms, engulfed in flames, in a video that has become a symbol of the horrors of war for Gazans, trapped inside their blockaded enclave as the international community looks on.

Gladly, they even let 30 truckloads into northern Gaza. The IDF made an announcement for it and specifically said that they follow international law. Completely ignoring the fact that they had to be threatened to do so.

The amount of trucks coming in is nowhere near enough. It's still a downgrade from before which was already barely enough to begin with. Israel is deliberately starving the Palestinian population.

I agree. The only showing here is that the IDF is vulnerable to American pressure.

Nope, Israeli religious extremist terrorists literally killed all the aid workers already.

Thankfully that's not true. They have killed far too many, and targeted them too. But they haven't killed all the helpers.

Any sources that aren't The Jerusalem Post - whose source in the article isn't "Israeli Media"? Cannot find any other sources that match this '30 Truck' number.

It's all Israeli sources because COGAT made the press conferences. I realize COGATs promises aren't worth the paper they're printed on but it shows that they are afraid of the US pulling weapons.
